AN: Alrighty. So.
THIS IS NOT A SERIOUS STORY. This is a derpy AU piece of lulz created by the livestream folks on Tumblr. It's a story for laughs and for those of us with YGO and HP fandoms to just enjoy some herp-derp Atem and Yuusei and all the grief they cause Yugi.
ONWARD. 8|
PROLOGUE
Yugi was used to coming into a darkened bedroom. Atem has taken to watching movies while Yugi was at school. He often watched Disney and musicals... It caused some obsessions, but Yugi tolerated it. But he never expected it to ever become anything more than a slight annoyance.
He did not expect to come into his room and be met with a twig in his face. Atem was staring down at him with an intense gaze. He then smiled and lifted the twig, tapping Yugi's forehead.
"You're a wizard, Aibou."

Yugi purchased the Harry Potter movies because he liked having them on DVD for when he wanted something fun to watch. Atem had discovered them and decided to have a marathon. The results... He was hooked. He read the books like a rabid fangirl, devouring them in a sitting each and reading under the covers with a flashlight when Yugi went to bed. He bought action figures and all sorts of silly toys. Sure, Yugi was a fan of the series but this was getting insane.
In an attempt to get him to calm his obsession, Yugi called Yuusei (through the strange device he'd been given by him, probably some futuristic stuff he'd never understand) and asked for a favour. In exchange for getting to their time, Yuusei could have a place to stay. Atem liked Yuusei, and maybe some dueling would get his mind off of Harry Potter.
When Yuusei arrived, he made his way upstairs and knocked on the door to Yugi's room. He knew Yugi was at school, which meant Atem would answer.
"Password," called Atem.
Yuusei cocked a brow. "Sherbet Lemon," he replied casually, helmet tucked under his arm. There was silence, and then the door slowly opened. Atem peeked around the door and looked up at him. "Yuusei? What are you doing here?" he asked. "And how did you-?"
"Yugi asked me to come. Said you've gotten into a fandom," he said, stepping inside the room. He looked around on the floor and the walls... Wow. It was all Harry Potter. Posters, toys, books, movies and even the curtains. He had to admit, he was jealous. Getting Harry Potter merchandise in New Domino was impossible. All of that stuff was vintage.
He was about to speak, but he was faced with Atem holding up his silly twig, studying Yuusei carefully. He then took his arm and pulled his jacket sleeve up, studying his arm. "Okay, so you're not a Death Eater. I didn't think you were."
"I would never follow the Dark Lord, Atem."
Atem looked up at Yuusei with wide eyes. "You... You're a fan?" he whispered. "None of Aibou's friends are fans. And he doesn't let me go to the online chats anymore. He says it's not good for me." Atem scowled and then ushered Yuusei from the room.
"Nox," muttered Atem, flipping off the light switch off. Yuusei smirked as Atem led him to another room. "Lumos," he said, turning the light on. Yuusei blinked in shock, seeing more Harry Potter posters and toys and... a broom stick? Cauldrons? Books and chalk boards and stuffed animals...
"I was thinking, Yuusei. We should play some Quidditch later. But check this out first!" Atem hauled Yuusei over to a table, sitting him down in one of the chairs. Before Yuusei could speak, a hat was thrust upon his head. "Yuusei, you're in Gryffindor! Just like me," he said with a laugh. "Perfect. I can make you a scarf and everything. And I've been thinking of making some robes, too. I want Aibou to have a set, also, but he might not like that. I sorted everyone else but they're as interested and-"
"Atem!"
Atem looked at Yuusei, the replica sorting hat pulled over his eyes. His heart began to sink. Yuusei wasn't happy. He was a casual fan. But then Yuusei reached over and picked up one of the other twigs Atem had first gotten for Yugi. "The deck chooses the wizard. Think you can beat me in a wizard duel?" Yuusei pulled the hat off, grinning. "I have a Slytherin deck I know you can't beat."
Atem's eyes narrowed. "My Ravenclaw deck is going to kick your ass."

Yugi was surprised to see his room was Atem-free. Yuusei's runner was still outside, so they must still be here unless Atem had dragged poor Yuusei to the toy store for Harry Potter games and toys. But then the sound of voices caught his attention and he made his way down the hall to the room he'd let Atem use for his personal stuff. His eyes widened when he saw Atem and Yuusei on the floor, a large bowl of popcorn between them and their eyes fixed on the screen. Atem was wear a fake pair of Harry glasses, and Yuusei had a Gryffindor scarf bundled around his neck. Both were mouthing the lines to the battle scene in Chamber of Secrets, intent on the action before them
"What are-?"
"Shh! Aibou, this is the best part. We just learned that Tom Riddle is actually Voldemort!"
"I never saw it coming," murmured Yuusei, taking a handful of popcorn and munching absently on it while he watched. Yugi quickly closed the door, taking a moment to compose himself. Oh god... He'd created a monster.
It seemed to be okay for the next few weeks. The pair mostly talked about the books and movies, Atem totally fascinated by Yuusei's stories of how Harry Potter has survived and his generation knew the books. He talked about how they once tried to remake the movies, but people threatened to burn down the company buildings.
"You don't miss with classics. Ever."
Atem showed Yuusei his collection of figures and novelty items he got off eBay, excited to finally have someone to talk to about all this.
It was harmless enough, so Yugi didn't get involved.
Well... It wasn't harmless at first.
After a week of Yuusei crashing with Atem, Yugi came home to find a strangely empty game shop. This wasn't right at all. Usually at this point Yuusei would be playing Harry Potter UNO would Atem and explaining once more how the rules worked. But no... No, it was silent.
Yugi must have checked the house three or four times before he stopped to really listen. He heard a sound of the roof, which was rather concerning. Who the hell was... No.
Yugi rushed outside, not caring that he nearly shattered the door. "ATEM!" he nearly screamed, looking up at the roof to see him and Yuusei standing with brooms in hand. "GET DOWN!"
"Aibou! Yuusei and I are going to try and fly!" he declared, waving down at Yugi.
"You can't be serious! It's a broom! Now get down." Yugi felt panic grip his chest and make his chest tight. What would he do if Atem killed himself? What if he needed a hospital? Should he get a phone or... He looked up again and watched Yuusei whisper something to Atem. Atem looked down at the ground thoughtfully and then nodded. "Aibou! Can you get us some pillows to put down there in the event I fall?"
-xxxx-
It just got worse and worse.
Yugi could swear they were living the fandom.
When Atem came into the kitchen for breakfast with Yuusei, Yugi looked up. They both had bandages on their face and hands. Quidditch. With a football. Bludgers had been medicine balls and it resulted in a doctor's visit.
"Aibou, Yuusei and I have been thinking..."
"That doesn't sound good."
"We'd like to get a pet owl. Hmm? Aibou, did you mean for your head to fall onto the table?"
Yugi groaned into the wood. "No. We are not getting an owl, okay? You're not sending letters to anyone or... or whatever. Atem, don't you think you're taking this too far? I mean, the sorting was fun and all, but Jounouchi and Honda don't know how they feel about those scarves and jumpers... I mean, I'm worried..." He paused, and Atem was looking seriously at Yuusei. "What? What it is?" asked Yugi.
Atem cleared his throat.
"Aibou... Yuusei and I are going to destroy the seven horcruxes."
And that was how the whole thing started...
